Isolated premature restriction or closure of foramen ovale in fetuses: Echocardiographic characteristics and outcome.

Premature rFO/cFO are rare in fetuses with otherwise structurally normal hearts. The fetal echocardiographic characteristics include right atrial and ventricular dilated, tricuspid regurgitation, and pericardial effusion. Most fetuses had a good outcome, although there was an association between rFO, especially cFO, with neonatal morality and complications (prematurity, maternal preeclampsia and placental abruption, hydrops fetalis, and necrotizing enterocolitis with perforation).
